Unforgettable Experience by Mirsal Alif

Last holiday I went to Poland to do a cultural mission. Besides Poland, I also went to other countries in Europe. I went to Italy, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany, and Poland. I went there with my cultural mission friends, Oji, Opal, Faza, Lutpai, Nafi, Ojan, Zidni, Zikri, and Ardhika. Also with the girls, Kyra, Kella, Aya, Nanta, Sissy, Rania, Tahany, Shinta, Dinda, Sapri, and also our beloved teachers and coaches, Bu Gege, Pak Hadi, Kak Nadia, and Kak Ani. I’m doing the cultural mission to play Kenong, a traditional music instrument from Indonesia, to accompany the girls dance in Poland. We are doing the cultural mission in a city called Brusy. Before we go there, we went traveling across the Europe first.

We are leaving Jakarta on 14 th of July. First of all, we went to Venice. But before that, we are having a transit on Dubai, because we are using the Emirates for the flight. At Dubai, we had a little bit rest after the flight from Jakarta. After that, we left Dubai and finally arrived at Venice. We only stay 1 night in Venice. We went for a walk at the center of the city. At the city, I’m having a Gondola ride. The next day, we went to Milan for only a small time. I went shopping there, since Milan is a global capital of fashion and design.

After Milan, we went to Dijon to rest for a night. The next day, we went to Lucerne, Switzerland. We went there to climb a famous mountain in Switzerland called Mount Titlis. We climbed Mount Titlis the next day. At the day, we went climbing the mountain and it is very beautiful. We played snow and take a lot of pictures there. The next day, we went back to Dijon for a night and after that, we went to one of the best cities in Europe, Paris!

In Paris, we stayed 4 nights. We went to the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, Disney Land, and other interesting places in Paris. The best experience in Paris that I had a ride for a Ferrari around Paris. It took only 30 minutes but it is the best feeling had a ride of a Ferrari in Paris.

After Paris, we went to Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, we only stayed for 2 nights. We went to the famous windmill, the Centrum of the city, and the big sign of I Amsterdam letters. After Amsterdam, we went to Berlin. In Berlin, we visited a historic site of the famous Jewish memorial site, Berlin Wall, and other places in Berlin. And finally we reached the day. We went to Brusy, Poland, to do the cultural mission. We stayed over 5 nights. It is a very fun week. We played football with local peoples. We performed over 5 small cities. After that we went back home to Jakarta. What a very memorable experience.
